Student app aims to cut waste by identifying leftover food
As a member of the Food Recovery Network student club, Quach helps recover food from dining commons and markets on campus and donates it to homeless shelters in downtown Davis, as well as the campus Basic Needs Center. However, said Quach, the club doesnât have the capacity to recover food from catered events.
âYou see it all the time at student organization events, faculty meetings, conferencesâwhen the event ends someone puts out a sign that says âfree food.â Iâd been thinking about this issue for nearly a year, and was really excited to turn my idea of a food waste app into reality,â said Quach, a senior in computer science. âWe knew we had a large target audience: there are tens of thousands of students on campus and they love free food.â
The Freebites team developed their app as part of computer science associate professor Sam Kingâs new iOS fundamentals class at UC Davis. In this class, 70 computer science and engineering seniors spent the first half of the quarter gaining a fundamental understanding of computer science principles. In the second half of the quarter, they worked in small to teams to build a new app.
